The Password Setup Menu
To set your PASSWORD:
•
Open the PASSWORD submenu.
•
Using the mouse or the arrow buttons, highlight the PASSWORD ENABLE
drop-down menu, and change the value to ON.
•
Two new options will pop up: USER PASSWORD and ADMIN PASSWORD.
•
The USER PASSWORD will grant access to the DVR and the footage stored on
it. The ADMIN PASSWORD is required to change settings, the record modes
and schedule, or to change other important aspects of the functionality of the
DVR.
•
Using the arrow buttons or the mouse, highlight the password field that you
would like to change.
•
Using the popup numerical pad which appears, enter the password of your
choice. It almost goes without saying, but we're going to say it twice: choose
something you'll remember!
•
To protect against a mistake at this point (which would lock you out of your
DVR) you'll need to enter the password again in the CONFIRM box immediately
next to the USER or ADMIN PASSWORD field.
NOTE: The default password to the DVR is "123456". If you lose or forget your
password (thus locking yourself out of the DVR) you'll need to contact Swann
Technical Support. Our number is on the back of this booklet. However, we strongly
advise that you choose a password you'll remember! It'll save grief later...

Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button.
Setting your Password
The system password allows you to
protect the DVR's settings & recording.
Without the password the DVR menu
cannot be accessed. We strongly advise
that you set a password as soon as
possible to prevent unauthorized access
to the DVR, either locally or remotely.
It is this same password which must
be entered for remote viewing the first
time.
